178 bags Mini C-2.6mm Full Color Set 1000 Count Pack (CB1000-F)

I am so excited to have such a wide variety of colors to work with. These mini-c beads melt well and evenly (flat or otherwise), and seem well-suited to dynamic pieces such as keychains, as well as more static pieces like portraits. Originally, one color was missing from the pack of 178, but representative Amy was very cordial and prompt about resolving this. Practically every color arrived with ~1000 beads in the bag, with only two colors appearing to have noticeably less. Residual flash (the flaky plastic bits leftover from the bead-forming process) is minimal. I will be glad to re-up my bead supply with Artkal in the future :)

Wonderful color selection and customer service.
Bought the 194 Bags of 1000 Count Pack Midi S-5mm and the 178 bags Mini C-2.6mm 1000 Count Pack. Had duplicates of 2 colors with 2 colors missing and a uv color that didn't change color.
Doris and Alina were very helpful with getting the correct colors shipped out.
Will be definitely buying from artkal again.

As far as we can tell there are no bags missing, but we didn't receive the ironing paper, which we were looking forward to sampling to see if we should buy a pack from this site. Oh well. Maybe next time

I purchased this custom set as I wanted to change from Hama (wich melt horriblyand have less colours) and the set is cheaper than buying individual bags.

There was a little problem with my order (some missing bags, I understand when you have to count so many bags for so many colours :D), but as another review stated the customer care was really helpful and we manage to solve the problem. Doris is a star!!! :D :D

I'm also planning on buying from here everytime I need beads, because not only they have the most colours available, but also one of the most fast and friendly customer care I have ever had to contact

I'm new to fuse beading so I did a lot of research before deciding to only use Artkal mini beads. They flat melt fantastically and have more colours than any other brand. I live in the UK so these beads are difficult to get hold of (the Import tax + brokerage fees were a bit of a sting so I'm glad this set had an amazing discount).
I also bought extra ironing film, 4 large pegboards and metal tweezers. I seriously can't use mini beads without the elbow tweezers! They are essential. I'm yet to use the free ironing paper because I keep using the ironing film -the smooth shiny effect is too nice to deviate from.

I chose the custom option keeping one of each solid colour, 6 extra black and white, and a few of each colour I thought I'd use more frequently.

There were a few snags with my order in that I got 2x C37 and was missing C38 but the customer care was super friendly and quick to respond/amend this for me :) You also don't get the colour chart as it's now outdated but to be honest I've found the colours melt slightly differently so it's best to make your own melted swatch or go off the chart on this website.

The packs were smaller than I had imagined so I counted the contents. There were 1012 beads so I'm happy that every pack should have at least 1000 inside. It was easy to measure as one large pegboard fits 2500 beads.

I wouldn't hesitate to order from here again - to top up supplies for something big :D
Thank you Artkal!
You've got a lifelong customer in the UK.
